Seventy-five years after its first publication, John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men" continues to serve as a cornerstone of high school American literature. The tragic story of George and Lenny, two traveling farm hands and their search for work and the American dream continue to attract new generations of readers.

High school students, educators and Steinbeck aficionados will have a rare opportunity to see a stage adaptation of the Salinas native's work Nov. 1, when The Acting Company performs at the Sunset Center as part of its 45-city, 24-state U.S. tour.
